Entertainment 3 to replace Indian Idol 5

June 18|2010

Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega has already began its auditions across the country. The earlier two seasons of Entertainment did well and now the channel is once again gearing up for the third season in time to take on the rival show, India’s Got Talent 2.

Our source from the show says, “We have finished auditions in Kolkata and in Delhi. This week we have auditions in Mumbai and after that on July 7 we will start with studio episodes at Yash Raj Studios, like last time. Initially there was some issue with Farah Khan’s dates as she is busy in Dance India Dance and was also going to work on another project, but now the issue has been sorted out and she has given us her dates. Also, Anu Malik as the second judge and Mona Singh and Vishal Malhotra as hosts have signed their papers. The channel was looking for a different female host but finally decided to go with their earlier choice. The show will come on air in mid-August and will replace Indian Idol at 9pm.”

The new season will be a bi-weekly instead of a daily. India’s Got Talent is also scheduled to be premiering its second season around the same time.
